Is Social Media Marketing Necessary?

Published on May 10, 2010 By SoBuzzzzz

Social Media has been the craze lately – everyone is abuzz with twittering, facebooking and linked-’inning’. (a new verb?? ) However as I teach people all around Austin what social media marketing is – I often ask ‘is it necessary?’

Every time I teach – I ask:

1. Who is your target audience?

2. Where does your target audience live? (and I don’t mean that geographically) – are they in coffee shops, online, visiting retail stores etc.

3. Will spending the time on SMM touch the lives of your customers?

High on SMM

I had an amazing experience today that I wanted to share. I had the honor and pleasure of speaking at SCORE Austin this morning. If you don’t know much about SCORE – I would tell you to run, not walk to their website and check out the amazing things that this non-profit has to offer. There is an extraordinary collection of people who have succeeded, failed and succeeded again in the largest of companies and they are offering their wealth of knowledge to those who don’t have the same experience to draw upon.  They want to help small businesses and entrepreneurs succeed and will guide you anywhere from a business idea to implementation and marketing – at no cost!
